THE COSMIC DEAD "The Exalted King" (EYE 004)

"The Exalted King" is COSMIC DEAD's follow up to their 2011 self-titled
debut cassette, which was for many the definitive mind expanding
statement of the last 10 years. Now, their 2nd opus sees its reissue on
double vinyl format, collecting the whole 70 minutes of the original
cassette recording (specifically mastered for vinyl format), including
an additional 8 mins track, exclusive to this release.

From the Icarus-like trance ascension of opener "The Exalted King", the
band enters to a deeply mindblowing interplay between trip-rock
experiments and cosmic ambition. Each album side is uninterrupted, a
continuous stream of deep spaced out zones recalling the rich tones and
pulse of your early 70s kosmische heroes with latter day stoned-out
psychedelia. Sometimes wandering in silently dark semi-acoustic
mysteries of the cosmos, and in the next moment orbiting to walls of
sound with outer space echoes and alien atmospheres. The COSMIC DEAD
know how to ride the edge of groove and gently cut back to spacey
atmospherics to superb effect. The record explodes their sound in all
directions; spacier, trippier, headier and far more expansive than ever.

Revivalists have attempted to capture and modernize the sound, and retro
enthusiasts have grappled in authenticity, but the COSMIC DEAD are
beyond: they ARE that sound! It's music floating so naturally that
immediately puts the listener into a state where time seems to
disappear. They invite you to experience intense flashbacks of tribal
british space rock and 70's krautrock bubbled through a psych filter. A
cosmic fan's nirvana. Not to be missed!
